5 more blocks! Sorry, O Neal, Jr.: You have changed from first in team history to second in team history

O'Neal Jr. played for 8 seasons with the Pacers, played 50 playoff games, and averaged 2.4 blocks per game, with a total of 120 blocks, setting a record for the Pacers' total playoff blocks. His record has been 19 years ago, but it was broken after today's game.

The person who broke this record is Turner. Today (June 12, 2025) in the NBA Finals G3 match, the Pacers defeated the Thunder 116-107 at home, leading 2-1 in the series. Turner played in this game for 30 minutes, 3 of 11 shots (1 of 4 three-pointers) scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 5 blocks. In the fourth quarter, he gave 3 blocks, and all 3 blocks were given to Chet.

After sending 5 blocks in this game, the total number of blocks in the playoffs in Turner Pacers' career hit 124, breaking O'Neal Jr.'s team history record in one fell swoop, ranking first in team history, and O'Neal Jr. became the second in team history. Turner is only 29 years old and he should still play for the Pacers for many years. He is expected to refresh this team record to a terrifying height.

Turner is a blocker. He played 19 games this year, averaging 2.3 blocks per game, of which 9 games had 3+ blocks, and 5 blocks in 2 games. This year, the Pacers were able to eliminate the Bucks 4-1, eliminate the Cavaliers 4-1, and eliminate the Knicks 4-2. In the finals, he was able to lead the Thunder, who was 68 wins in the regular season 2-1. Turner played a great role. This year, he averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.8%. Turner performed very well.
